1 "It is my lung," said Boxer in a weak voice.
2 An uproar of voices was coming from the farmhouse.
3 Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike.
4 All the animals followed, crying out at the tops of their voices.
5 And suddenly, at the sound of the mingled voices, the animals were stricken with curiosity.
6 I am old and my voice is hoarse, but when I have taught you the tune, you can sing it better for yourselves.
7 Napoleon called the animals together immediately and in a terrible voice pronounced the death sentence upon Frederick.
8 The animals had now reassembled in the wildest excitement, each recounting his own exploits in the battle at the top of his voice.
9 The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice.
10 When they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess.
11 The four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Meetings raised their voices timidly, but they were promptly silenced by a tremendous growling from the dogs.
12 The animals were all at work weeding turnips under the supervision of a pig, when they were astonished to see Benjamin come galloping from the direction of the farm buildings, braying at the top of his voice.
